1. Monk Introduction

Shishengru, a Buddhist nun, was born in Shenyang, Liaoning Province in 1967. She graduated from the Finance and Economics College in July 1989. In 2000, she began studying Buddhism, and was ordained as a nun in November 2003. In 2005, she received the Triple Platform Full Ordination at Puti Temple in Jingzhou, Hubei Province.

From 2004 to 2012, she dwelt in seclusion in the mountains. During this time, she devoted herself to studying the Four Āgamas, the 600-volume Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra, numerous other Buddhist scriptures, as well as Chan (Zen) classics and kōans. She deeply cultivated meditation and engaged in profound contemplative practices, attaining realization in Chan meditation, the Four Noble Truths path to liberation, and Chan's wisdom of Prajñā (Insight).

From 2012 to 2013, she began teaching the Dharma in person in places like Liaoning and Shandong. During this period, various realms of insight and wisdom continuously arose. She gradually came to a thorough understanding of the essential doctrines of both the Hinayana and Mahayana vehicles, and in November 2013, she initiated profound wisdom into Vijñaptimātratā (Consciousness-Only / Yogācāra).

Starting at the end of 2014, she began teaching the Dharma online. She expounded on the Āgamas concerning liberation, Mahayana Prajñā, the teachings of Chan patriarchs, and Chan kōans for the public. At the beginning of 2016, she started teaching Vijñaptimātratā.

2. Dharma Propagation Focus

Taking Vijñaptimātratā (Consciousness-Only/Yogācāra) as the main framework, supported by Prajñā (Wisdom) and Āgama (Early Buddhist) teachings, this core framework guides people in deeply cultivating meditation, logically examining and exploring the Dharma through contemplative practices, diligently engaging in actual practice and realization. Practitioners gradually deepen their understanding of the Vijñaptimātratā classics, thereby propagating the True Dharma teachings of the Buddha.
